XWFE Water Filter Cartridge
WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
The water filter cartridge holder is located in the
back upper-right corner of the fresh food refrigerator
compartment.
WHEN TO REPLACE THE FILTER
If there is a replacement indicator light for the water filter
cartridge on the dispenser, a red light will start blinking to
tell you that you need to replace the filter soon. For models
that don’t have the indicator light, the filter cartridge should
be replaced every six months, or earlier if the flow of water
to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
REMOVING THE FILTER
If you are replacing the filter, first remove the previous one
by gently grasping the filter and slowly turning it to the left,
about a ¼ turn. The filter should automatically release itself
when you have rotated it far enough to the left. A small
amount of water may drip down.
CAUTION
If air has been trapped in the system, the filter cartridge
may be ejected as it is removed. Use caution when
removing.
FILTER BYPASS PLUG
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water
leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models
do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain
a free bypass plug, call 800-GECARES. In Canada, call
800.561.3344. The dispenser and icemaker will not operate
without either the filter or bypass plug installed. The bypass
plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge

INSTALLING THE FILTER IN A MULTI-DOOR
BOTTOM FREEZER REFRIGERATOR
1. Open the filter cartridge housing by
pulling the door open.
2. Line up the ports on the filter with
the ports on the filter cartridge
holder, and gently insert the filter.
3. Slowly turn the filter to the
right until it stops. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the
filter, it will automatically adjust itself into position. The filter will
move about a ¼ turn or 90 degrees, until the filter cannot be
turned, and the label faces outward.
4. Slowly push the filter up into the
clips.
5. Close the filter cartridge housing
by gently pushing the door closed
until the tabs lock into place.
6. Continue following instructions
shown in Purging the Filter and
Reset Filter Change Indicator
Sections.
PURGING THE FILTER
For dispenser models - Run water from the dispenser for 2
gallons (approximately 5 minutes) to clear the system. Water may
spurt out and air bubbles may be visible during the process. If
water is not flowing, check to make sure the filter has been fully
rotated to the right. Use a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch
the water spray. NOTE: It is normal for water to appear discolored
during the initial system flush. Water color will return to normal
after the first few minutes of dispensing.
For icemaker-only models - Discard the first bin of ice to allow
air to purge from the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will
cause water to spurt into the icemaker body, which could lead to
ice droplets around the icemaker area. NOTE: It is normal for
these droplets and initial ice production to appear discolored
during the initial system flush. Ice color will return to normal after
the first bin of ice production.
RESET FILTER CHANGE INDICATOR
For Bottom Freezer and Side-by-Side models - Press and hold
the RESET WATER FILTER button on the dispenser for three
seconds. On select models, filter reset will be automatic when
new filter is installed.
For Multi-Door Bottom Freezer models - When dispensing
water, press the button underneath the Confirm Filter Change
message. On select models, filter reset will be automatic when
new filter is installed.
